Quote by Graham Greene
A murderer is regarded by the conventional world as something almost monstrous, but a murderer to himself is only an ordinary man. It is only if the murderer is a good man that he can be regarded as monstrous.
Summary
This quote highlights the difference in perception between society and an individual who commits murder. In the conventional world, society views a murderer as something monstrous, due to the heinous act they have committed. However, from the perspective of the murderer himself, he sees himself as an ordinary person. The quote suggests that if a murderer, despite committing the act, is otherwise a good person, their actions appear monstrously out of character, amplifying the perceived contrast between who they are and what they have done.
